"In line with the scheme rules, a member of staff on furlough leave is not permitted to undertake any work for [employer redacted] during the period of leave. However, it is possible for training to be undertaken and may be a good opportunity for on-going personal development. Please discuss...

How do you mean "supposed to be furloughed", Chief? If you are furloughed, your employer is not entitled to ask you to do any work. At all. Sounds like they're trying to claim the government furlough money while still getting you to work for them. Tell them to stick it, or employ you!

I was going to add that caveat, but i thought i'd get accused of posting "too much information"! How many likes did i miss out on, i wonder?!

Nice posing pouch, dude!! Nothing's going on my face if it ain't certified to the right British Standard (FWIW it's BS EN 14683:2019)

The media, asking incessant questions at government briefings and in the press about why they won't tell us when lockdown will be over. Yes, i know it's a pain for many (though i prefer working at home to going to the office), but if the herd immunity thing isn't going to work, this is what it...

We started watching "Normal People" last night on iPlayer. It's like an Irish "Gregory's Girl" in some ways, but alright so far. Anyone seen it? The lead female is attractive in an unusual way (not harmed by her predilection for taking her clothes off) but the lad's mum, who only has a fleeting...

Can you imagine the hashtag #SaveFerris going viral if it was set today? Great movie!

It is, yeah - Anton Walbrook and Moira Shearer (in her first screen role, i believe). Indy described it as "the most stunning combination of music, dance and cinema in history". Was it fuck!

I grew up in Brizzle, and my elder sister's boyfriend (later husband) used to take me to Rovers games (went to every one in their 1973-74 promotion season from Div 3). Fell away a bit in the later 70s (as he stopped going, being married with young kids, i guess). Then i came to Cov in 1982 to...

Watched "The Red Shoes" (remastered 1948 version is on Youtube) last weekend, as it was on the Independent's list of the 20 best british films of all time. Pile o' shit - NOT recommended! But I should have known, as their chart also includes "Withnail and I", which i think is the biggest load...

"The options concerning the sporting outcomes of the 2019/20 season remain under careful and timely consideration"

Are they from @TomRad85 's missus though? :happy:

Liverpool two wins from title: Times teams were denied by unexpected events Yeah those Scouse bastards prevented us from having our crack at the Cup Winners' Cup in 1987/8. You know, if this season is cancelled, Liverpool missing out will for me be the silver lining of our dark cloud!

Exactly this - but people believe that it will stop them getting it. I'm not entirely convinced that the PHE guidance to primary care staff is necessarily 100% accurate, and not even medics and nurses understand the differences between different mask types. In order to be protected against...

I would too, but i struggle to find Roisin Conaty's appeal ...

You've hit the nail on the head yet again, BBR! The vast majority don't actually KNOW why they are wearing them, HOW to wear them properly to protect themselves, and what TYPE of mask to wear in the first place. Just provide a false sense of security in most cases.

The demand from the media to know what the exit strategy is, and whether to wear a facemask or not (NOT, by the way) is simply because they are running out of things to report or speculate on, such is the need to fill their 24 hour rolling broadcasts and website updates. I think there are very...

Would the USA be bankrupt if they didn't have, say, California and Washington (state, not DC) economies to prop them up?

Who?

Few too many "Downton Abbey" overtones for my taste, so struggling after episode 2, but maybe that's your thang! Did you figure out how they were getting live score updates from an away match in 1879?? Bloody fast carrier pigeon!
